Journey of a Thousand Words: Inspiring Images Through An Evocation of Feelings

A Journey of a Thousand Words takes a unique look at an enduring journal across continents which speaks in two languages; photography and poetry. The author's Photoetry is more than images and words. It is the melding of two mediums speaking loudly for the emotional journey of love, passion and discovery of the world we live in. Erik Hawkinson portrays his art as colorful existence with the lyrics exposing the senses to all that was there when the photo transpired with the raw emotions one might see in the image themselves. There are many books that portray photography with words of creative descriptions, but only a few speak as if they were created together; distinctive in inspiration, not as separate entities defining each other. Each page encapsulates the rhythm of poetry with the fluidity of a short story. One may take you to a place forgotten, while another brings you to an undiscovered place. Either way, this journey will be something you will share with others in your life.

5I Will Remember Your Face  Oct 13, 2009
Journey of a Thousand Words is a lovely collection of thought provoking, soulful words enmeshed with unforgetable images. It is a book that you can read over and over, each time with new reflection and meaning. Erik has a gift of taking the reader to a new place and time spiritually and emotionally with every line. There is a serene sensuality to his writing that lingers long after the verses are read. A lovely escape.

4Travelling on the wings of words...  Oct 12, 2009
If you want to travel through time touching down in different places around the world, experiencing multitudes of emotions while they wash over your mind and body and all the while not leave your home this is the book you need. We read to learn and to allow ourselves to be taken to places that we otherwise would not travel to, when you find that you've stopped breathing and realize tears are running down your cheeks you know that you have been transported.
Erik's ability to transport you has only been increased by the addition of his words, causing the experience to take you away if only for a brief moment. This book is definately a keeper and well worth adding to your library.

5Sharing the Beautiful Journey  May 13, 2009
If you want to learn more about the art of Photoetry, this is a wonderful book to take you on the journey. The author's photographs are beautiful and when combined with his poetry - his thoughts, emotions, experiences, insight - the reader is given the gift of traveling along on the ride through life. We can see "The Color of Breath," feel "Soulloving," listen to "In Tune," ache for "Wanting Just A Lifetime of You" and experience "The World I Know." The book makes a great gift because the poetry means something different to each reader, bringing to mind personal experiences and memories. The use of language in the book appeals to every generation from teens to college students to the "grown-ups" we proclaim to be. So interesting to be offered the chance to look through someone else's "lens" on life and then personalize it. We begin to look at our own journeys in a new way. Can't wait for the next project from this artist.
